Rose Windross originally began as a singer and songwriter in the UK reggae scene. She recorded her first album, Just Rose, on the Ital Records label when she was still at school.
Windross both wrote and recorded Soul II Soul's first single "Fairplay" for Jazzie B, which is featured on the album, Club Classics Vol. One. In the U.S., although the single was pressed, "Fairplay" was never officially released as a single there, but it appeared on the B-side to the single "Feel Free".
In 1996, she performed vocals on Dpd's (one of Dillon & Dickins's aliases) cover version of Terence Trent D'Arby's "Sign Your Name" which was released on Higher State's sublabel 99 North.
Windross joined her brother Norris Windross in 1999 to launch W Records through his own booking agency, Da Boss Entertainments.
The Summer of Love was a social phenomenon that occurred during the summer of 1967, when as many as 100,000 people converged in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco. Although hippies also gathered in major cities across the U.S., Canada and Europe, San Francisco remained the center of the hippie movement. Like its sister enclave of Greenwich Village, the city became even more of a melting pot of politics, music, drugs, creativity, and the total lack of sexual and social inhibition than it already was. As the hippie counterculture movement came further forward into public awareness, the activities centered therein became a defining moment of the 1960s, causing numerous 'ordinary citizens' to begin questioning everything and anything about them and their environment as a result.
This unprecedented gathering of young people is often considered to have been a social experiment, because of all the alternative lifestyles which became more common and accepted such as gender equality, communal living, and free love. Many of these types of social changes reverberated on into the early 1970s, and effects echo throughout modern society.
"Summer of Love" is a dance-pop song performed by Dannii Minogue. The Extended Mix of the song was released worldwide on March 7, 2015 and features a rap section by British rapper Reece.

Finally, at the end of February, Sydney Mardi Gras shared a YouTube link to a video called #pressplay, featuring the Extended Mix of "Summer of Love".

Summer of Love is a Big Finish Productions audio drama featuring Lisa Bowerman as Bernice Summerfield, a character from the spin-off media based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who.
It's the hottest summer the Braxiatel Collection has ever seen, and as neighbouring aliens try to take advantage of the weakened state of affairs, the inhabitants find themselves with only one thing on their mind - sex.
It was a summer day, a long hot summer day, not in '69.
I met a girl on the beach with a tan of golden brown hair and long hair.
We fell in love, she was a gift from the salty air.
I couldn't imagine the day she would leave my life.
Oh God, my love is like ice cream,
the Summer sunshine melts it away.
I'm so stupid, was it a dream?
It's a bitter memory,
summer of love.
Not only love, but everything I do has gone like this.
Why's that? So many, many shitty things, I don't have the thing I really love.
I say I don't mind, but I really just pretend not to care.
Life is long, so I can't cry all the time.
